With the Arrowtown spring flower show on the 20th September, we have had Arrowtown juniors coming in to discover the signs of spring and some local flowers.

Everyone is now a nature expert, as students learnt the differences between the 4 different seasons and why plants look certain ways in different seasons. Walking through the Chinese settlement; students could smell the blossoming flowers, see the new green shoots on the Willow trees, and hear the birds chirping in the sunshine.

Stone sculpture competitions were held near the end of the walk, so students can be prepared for their sand saucer and sand cup displays for the flower show.

Who can tell me what the Museums favourite flower is?! I'll give you a hint - it can be used as a fairy's toothbrush!

Who saw the birds nest up high in the tree on the walk?

Comment below with some names or descriptions of the plants you saw on our spring walk, or tell me about your favourite thing from the spring walk!
